Aug 9 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Monday's Major League Baseball games.
Mariners 3, Tigers 0
Right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma outdueled rookie Michael Fulmer to lead Seattle to a shutout win over Detroit.
Iwakuma (13-7) threw seven scoreless innings, allowing just five hits, before new Mariners reliever Arquimedes Caminero and rookie closer Edwin Diaz finished off the win.
Diaz, who replaced Steve Cishek as closer last week, now has five saves in as many chances as Seattle (58-53) won for the sixth time in seven games.
Cardinals 5, Reds 4
The St Louis Cardinals scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 at Busch Stadium, the two-out rally capped when Yadier Molina was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded from Ross Ohlendorf.
